What can a few miles and a few dollars do?


                                                           Fall 5k & 1 Mile Fun Run
Have you ever heard the saying "if you could only walk a mile in my shoes"?  Think just a minute if you where to exchange the life we have here in the US and instead where born into a typical Honduran family.  The life of a child for an average family in this Central American Country is very different from that of our own children.?  In America we ask whats for supper,there the question is are we going to be able to eat supper.  Here we ask if the children like school, there the question is do you have the money to be able to attend school.  We ask when was our last check-up from the doctor, there the question is how can we get to a doctor, and then how can we pay.  Here we are concerned with the up keep of our homes there many people are asking where they might sleep each night.


Join us October 8th @ Carrier Park off of Amboy Rd in Asheville for a 5k and fun run to help make a better life for the children of Honduras.  There are two ways to get involved.  There will be a 1 mile fun run starting at 9am with an entry fee of $10 per person.  There is also a 5k that will start at 9:45 with an entry fee of $25.  Registration for both events can be done online at www.carpentersheart.org now until October 6th at 5pm.  There will also be race day registration available starting at 8:15am on race day inside the racetrack.  We would like to invite you to come and walk a mile or 5K in there shoes.
